Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi dear,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. It can be poisoning. Give Charcoal 1,5 tablet to absorption of tablets and plenty of water, try to cause vomiting by making pressure on the radix of tongue. Immediately telephone your doctor or go to Accident and Emergency at the nearest hospital.
It can give:
-stomach pain;
-headache, including migraines.
-symptoms of an allergic reaction may include:

-shortness of breath;
-wheezing or difficulty in breathing;
-swelling of the face, lips, tongue or other parts of the body;
-rash, itching or hives on the skin.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you and your son good health.
